Contents
Body
This Add is awarded to any move which involves a spin, jump,duck or twist of your body.
Spins
There are many, many different spinning combonations. Here are some basic ones.
- Spinning - (backspinning)
- Spinning is typicaly set from an outside kick, or clipper stall. After the set, the bag travels behind the back, hence backspin.
- Inspinning
- Inspinning goes infront of the player, and then behind them.
- Gyro
- Gyro is a concept that implies that the set foot, before and after a backspin, preforms a move component such as a delay or dexterity before planting, or touching the ground.
- Ingyro
- The same as gyro, except the bag travels infront of the body first.
Flyers
Flyers are moves where the kick or stall is preformed entirely in the air. Some examples are
- Flying Clipper
- Butterly Kick
- Flying Toe Stall (Foe)
- Eclipse
Ducks
There are 4 main types of ducks. They are defined by which side of the body the bag comes from, and which side of the body the bag goes to.
Ducking
- In ducking, the bag moves from one side of the body, over the same side of the neck, to the other side of the body
Diving
- In diving,the bag moves from one side of the body, over the opposite side of the neck, back down to the original side of the body.
Weaving
- In weaving, the bag moves from one side of the body, over the same side of the neck, to the original side of the body
Zulu
- In zulu, the bag moves from one side of the body, over the opposite side of the neck, to the opposite side of the body
Alpine
- Alpine is a concept that means a duck of somesort is being preformed inbetween other move components, such as dexterities.
Symposium
Symposium (Symp) is a concept for moves where the leg performing a dexterity is planted immediately before and after the dexterity, while the other (setting) leg does not touch the ground. Symposium moves include
- Symposium Mirage
- Symposium IllusionFlail
- Symposium Whirl
Symposium is a body concept that only applies to Dexterities. However, not all dexes are elligible for the symposium ADD. This is due to the fact that in some moves, the leg that does the dex, is also the one that does the delay. When a move that cannot be symposium is done in a symposium style, it's called symple. Dexes that can be symposium can also be done in a symple style, but symple never receives an ADD.
Also to be noted, butterfly and the stepping set are not awarded symposium, but are instead called symple butterfly, and the pogo set.
Paradox
Paradox (pdx) is a turn in the body that comes from doing far dexterities, sometimes. Paradox happens...
- Anytime after a far mirage
- Anytime after a far whirl
- After a far illusion, unless after it ends on a same side contact.For example, far illusion is paradox, as where far illusioning opposite clipper is not.
